Expanding Selection to All Incoming Emails
For those who wish to select all incoming emails (not limited to the Inbox), it’s advised to navigate to the All Mail label found in the list of labels on the left side of the screen.
Repeating the Selection Process
Upon reaching All Mail, the same steps outlined above should be followed. It’s important to note that the All Mail label encompasses all incoming emails, excluding those in the Spam and Trash folders.
